History Rocks!

Hayden's class had their annual History Rocks program

last week.  Hayden was Benjamin Franklin, he did

SOOOOOO good!  I was so proud of him:)



Hayden had the longest speech and he memorized the whole thing,

he told me he felt like he was going to throw up in the

microphone, luckily he didn't:)

 Here he is with Abe Lincoln and Marco Polo

(sorry for the blurry pics)

The women

 All the "men"

 He did such a great job and it was so fun to watch

him and practice his speech with him.  His teacher came up

to me after the program and told me how well Hayden did

on his presentation and everything (they also did their own pin point

presentation and posters)

They have to do another one before school is out, he told me next time

he wants to be someone with a rifle!  haha

Oh and Emmaree had a princess party at her friend

Lily's this week, she was so excited!

It was soooo cute:)

Great Grandma

Every Sunday the grand kids who live in

Joseph City get to spend an afternoon with my grandma

and feed her dinner. 

We love having our turn with Great Grandma

and the kids are always excited for her to come over.

One memory I have is going to visit my grandpa and

grandma on Sundays with my parents and

brothers and sisters and there almost

always being a huge puzzle on the kitchen table

that someone was working on.

Emmaree got 4 princess puzzles for Christmas that

she loves and she can already do ALL BY HERSELF! 

Some mornings before she even comes out of her room

she will be sitting on the floor in her bedroom,

putting her puzzles together. 

You can bet that I was ready to show her off to my grandma

when she came over today:)

My grandma was very impressed

with how well Emmaree put them together,

it was so cute watching them do the puzzles together,

I am so glad I was able to snag a few

pics:)

Hayden walked grandma across the street when

she was ready to go home, if you look close you'll notice

he has her arm.

This picture makes me happy!

Love you Grandma!

A tiny bit late

Emmaree and her big, crazy brothers:)

Hayden. Just being Hayden.

Mason.  He reminds me of his biggest brother!
Such a nut!

Tanner, my sweetie!

Yep, they're mine and I love em!

Wow!

It really has been a long time since I have blogged. 

I have to admit I just haven't been in the mood for it lately:(

Just a quick update from my last post about Austin...

He is doing AMAZING!!!

You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at him that he almost lost

his life a few months ago.  This week I got to

go and watch him play basketball, it was a good

feeling to see him out there.

Our family has been so blessed by our Heavenly Father and

through the power of prayer.  It is an

experience I will never forget and just want to thank everyone

again for all that you did for us.
